A
S PART of their partnership,
which focuses on supporting
sustainable agriculture, Woolworths and Landcare Australia are
currently working together on two
major projects which will assist
Woolworths in improving the sustainability of its fresh food supply
chain.
These projects are being undertaken as part of the Woolworths Fresh
Food Future program, a program
which addresses the important issues
that impact on the supply of fresh
food to Australian consumers, with
particular relevance for Woolworths’
fresh food suppliers.
The projects will focus on a whole
of supply chain life cycle analysis for
greenhouse gases for key vegetable
crops, and the development of a
water footprinting tool for Woolworth’s fresh food suppliers.
Landcare Australia farming programs and major projects director,
Dr Shane Norrish, said the project
work was currently being undertaken nationally by the Waite
Institute of the University of Adelaide in conjunction with La
